America's Thanksgiving Hymn

Sung by the first Dutch settlers in America, who thereby expressed their hope for a better life in the new land, as well as their gratitude for God's bounty already enjoyed. It was first published in Holland, in Dutch around 1630.

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease to be distressing,
Sing praises to His name for He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine.
So from the beginning the fighting we were winning,
Thou Lord wast at our side and all the glory be thine.

We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape all tribulation,
Thy name be ever praised in glory, Lord make us free.

The Annals of America 1493-1754 vol. 1.
